Understanding Physics, Video CD for Students

Built on the foundations of Halliday, Resnick, and Walker's Fundamentals of Physics Sixth Edition, this text is designed to work with interactive learning strategies that are increasingly being used in physics instruction (for example, microcomputer-based labs, interactive lectures, etc. ). In doing so, it incorporates new approaches based upon Physics Education Research (PER), aligns with courses that use computer-based laboratory tools, and promotes Activity Based Physics in lectures, labs, and recitations.

A narrative style that supports student learning - Rather than
fragmenting the text with sidebars, extraboxes, and examples, this
text presents a smooth expository flow that facilitates
understanding. Critical examples (sample problems) are positioned
as Touchstone Examples.

Emphasis on observation and experimentation - The experimental
evidence for many of the physical laws and relationships discussed
in the narrative have been presented in graphical form.

Incorporates active learning -- The story line is reinforced by
the use of Reading Exercises that help students focus on thoughtful
reading of the text sections in each chapter.

Presentations that are known to be associated with common
student confusions have been rewritten and clarified. Some topics
have been rearranged (especially the introduction of the New
Mechanics Sequence) to provide a more pedagogically coherent
learning path and story line.
